Roots – Pentagon City Mall

Roots – Pentagon City Mall

At Pentagon City mall, we installed the Roots storefront glazing and entrance, framing the brand's wood interior behind large, clear display windows. The work followed the mall's rules for night shifts and concourse protection.

The challenge

Store openings are scheduled months ahead and rarely move. Glazing has to slot in between framing, mechanical and electrical trades and the tenant's fixture installers, and inside a mall it must respect the landlord's rules on barricades, deliveries and night work.

Our solution

Our crew set out and anchored the aluminum framing, glazed it with tempered safety glass and hung the entry doors with commercial closers, pivots and locks, then sealed every joint against the weather. From start to finish we worked hand in hand with the general contractor and the owner, kept the work area clean and safe, and protected completed finishes until handover.

The result

The new storefront gives the brand strong visibility from the street or mall concourse, with uninterrupted sightlines that showcase the products and an entry built to withstand constant foot traffic. See more of our projects in Northern Virginia.
